Insecurity in Beledweyne: Context, causes, and the way forward

Residents in Beledweyne have been suffering
from insecurity in recent months that
has resulted from the coexistence of the
Hirshabelle state and the self-proclaimed
‘Hiiraan state,’ both of which have parallel
administrations in the town. The lack of a
single government authority responsible for
the security of the city has allowed an increase
in the presence and activities of armed militias
and vigilante groups, resulting in robberies,
roadblocks, and a surge of violence. The
parallel administrations’ struggle to control
the town has dented the trust of the local
constituents. The rivalry between the two
sides has disrupted economic activities with
roadblocks set up out of the town, causing
increases in commodity prices.
